ncurses is basically used to create text-based user interfaces. There's a guide of sorts at:
ed! - Ncurses Library Tutorial for Beginners - 1

I would suggest checking out the Wikipedia article and Google.

ncurses is the Programming Library to make ConsoleGUI programs. eg mc, htop and cfdisk.
And to answer were to find a documentation what bout google? ^^

Well, ncurses only draws the screen for you.
You need another Header for Threading.
Maybe you should read Threading (multi threading) in Linux - C that.
